Braids is one of my semester project i did back then in my previous school. Its a handmade and machined sewed combination of drawstring tote bag. This is one of my work first few pieces that i'm proud of even though it didn't turn out as i expected it to be. I've decided to combine both tote bag and drawstring as i like how the function of draw string pouches always work, its easily accessed and it keep things secure too, in the pouch, thus i added the function into the tote. The handle of the tote is a braided woven wool string, its a 5 braided pattern, i chose it to be wool string as i personally prefer it if my handles are soft when carried it on the shoulder especially when carrying heavy things. I also didn't sewed it fixed onto the bag as i wanted it to be interchangeable, so i could braid more patterns for the strap, or even change the color of the strap when i feel like it.
Why i chose and decided on doing this is because, i have always wanted to come out a product of my own, specifically more on sewing stuffs, like hand-stitch items , pouches , bags and clothes. I grew up in an environment where all my aunts and even my mum stitches or knit. I started to have interest in it. To me, this craft is one of my passion, or usually when i'm down , i would start coming up with things i would like to sew or DIY ( do it yourself).
